Meteors peak Sunday night into Monday morning
The Island's dark skies should provide a great viewing platform to catch a metoer shower this weekend, more visible in the current clear conditions.
The Quadrantid shower is to peak this evening, into tomorrow morning (3/4 January).
They're an annual appearance, and this year followed a Grand Conjunction over Christmas - where Jupiter and Saturn passed by each other, the closest in a generation.
Howard Parkin of AstroManx says they're often overlooked:
Decision on schools to be made in the morning
Amber alert issued for ice and wintry showers
Mountain Road closed until Monday
Police warn of 'treacherous conditions' following heavy hail shower
